Starfield | New Atlantis Penthouse (Fully Decorated)

Decided to decorate the New Atlantis Penthouse after getting rewarded it for completing the UC questline. Also wanted to put all the junk i've been collecting to use. In my opinion this is the best place you can get in any of the cities and the only one with actual functioning windows. Its nice being able to fully step out on the balcony and jump down to the city if I want. I’ll be decorating all the player homes and building plenty more outposts so stay tuned for more.

Important warning read carefully! Before fully decorating your apartment there’s a bug when you play the main story quest “ high price to pay “ that causes all your furnishes to be deleted from existence, including unique items. So either wait to decorate until after you’ve completed the mission, or if you already have begun decorating go back collect everything, and complete mission first. I was unaware of this glitch! Another glitch to be aware of is misc items sinking into the surface you placed it on. Here’s a fix for that.. drop items on floor leave cell quick save & quick load while out of the cell go back into cell place items It’s frustrating that you have to do this but it seems to work, multiple people tested it and this was also a work around in Skyrim for a similar issue. If you don’t feel like going through the hassle of that every time, reloading a save has fixed it for me, one time I had to reload twice and it was fixed on the second reload. Only a matter of time until mods similar to Fallout 4 which make misc items static objects will come out and then this won’t be an issue. But for the time being, try that out and hopefully it works for everyone!

[@kenmasters734]

Yeah i lost all my shit aswell and just couldn't be bothered to go back so big points for sticking with it.

[@samuelbletas9949]

Hey bro! What did you mean by leave cell? As in leave the apartment building or? Awesome design btw, thinking of using a couple ideas!

[@MillsBuilds]

@@samuelbletas9949 thanks dude! and not for the New Atlantis Penthouse since its all seamlessly connected to the city. So you have to enter a new cell first, quickest way is to probably enter the gun store right beside the penthouse tower lobby. For the Neon or Akila ones its different because the interiors for those are their own cell.

[@retroflash-fv1iu]

muito boa dica aconteceu comigo e ate excluir o salvamento de raiva.😅 ate hoje me arrependo de ter excluido pois estava com muito dinheiro por conta dos glichs.

[@JuanPerez-qs8oo]

Update: it'll be fixed in the next update, currently in Beta Steam.

[@Striderspawn]

The thought of NG+ must give you nightmares. Sleepless nights and chills while eating dinner. (shivers)

[@areagamer5098]

Placing furniture is one thing. But I'm fascinated that you took the time to get all the items and decorate the rooms vividly.

[@MillsBuilds]

Thanks dude! That’s one of my favorite things in Bethesda games, I love making it all feel lived in and it gives meaning to looting all the misc items.

[@bigblue9484]

I LOVE COLLECTING STUFF ❤

[@bobnesta4110]

no cap this look like one of the devs made this its so detailed🔥🔥@@MillsBuilds

[@quackf4]

​@@MillsBuildswait you place the MSC items?? 😮😮 I thought they spawn overtime like the ship

[@MillsBuilds]

@@quackf4 yup! All of this stuff comes mostly from your misc section in your inventory or resources and aids. You have to drop them from your inventory and then individually place the items. I show how to do it in my most recent video.

[@SKRWdFaLife90]

Dude this is so good. I wish there was a fast travel point to the apartment.

[@authisticegirl8998]

Entering the penthouse in style got me fr 😂😂😂😂 My husband in game is Sam, so I made that one room, where you have mission boards and space-suits, for Cora and her book-kingdom 😊❤

[@Zynnerbaby]

If you put the portable stovetop on one of the metal cabinets on wheels u can have a barbeque for your deck outside 😊really nice job, when i combine the best elements of mine with yours it will look insane!

[@mytheoryofmind]

In all the Bethesda games, I enjoy doing detailed clutter in my homes. I’ve been stuck on where to place my TV or entertainment area and you gave me the perfect idea of how to do it! Love your builds.

[@dalerobertson3740]

Man, very ethereal, otherworldly vibe to this with the layout and the music. I know it's early days, but best one I've seen so far. Loved it.

[@MillsBuilds]

Thank you dude! Any time I make build videos I typically try using a song from the original soundtrack of whatever game it is. And I love those ethereal sounding tracks, this is one of my favs from the Starfield OST. Auora is the title of the track.

[@gamerjunction5335]

This place just needs a Fast Travel Marker. Nice decorations

[@TheGavrael]

Damn. Slick. I took one look inside that empty condo and dipped out. Looked like so much work

[@daxconnell7661]

since i took the "the kid" option i think it is, i made the smaller room into a spare bedroom for my parents. looks really good. i wish the monitors would play some kind of video, even if it was news

[@leoxgamer1342]

I’m using this as a guide to fix up my apartment

[@RestingBeachFace]

Same!! 😮

[@CoopCollins]

Absolutely stunning. Im just glad you you didn't try to place the towel rack in the bathroom. The game will only let me place it at head level.

[@turbomanmechachrist]

Apartment resets when the Atlantis city gets updated during some missions (no spoilers), so beware until fixed.

[@dtarr77]

Came to say the same thing. To avoid spoilers, I'll just say it's during/after the 11th Main Mission. And your stuff doesn't go anywhere, just deletes unfortunately.

[@MillsBuilds]

Hmm I did not know that. Thanks for the tip! I think I know what mission your referring to though, for this save file I only have one main quest left to do with constellation.

[@shanemacias5681]

Happen to me today. Was very upset, spent many hours and resources building my apartment and had all my extra good guns and gear.

[@WATP2000]

Bethesda moment 😫 still the best game ever

[@j.cesarbraga]

​​@@shanemacias5681it happens in your ship as well. Whenever you open the ship builder, everything not stored in the ship storage, such as weapons in the armory, will be gone forever.

Holy moly! That is incredible.

[@aidendavis3086]

I've lvl 3 outpost now so I've been doing my penthouse for 3 hours straight and it's nowhere near as finished as yours. It must have taken you alot of time and effort to position everything well and gather all the bits and bobs. By Trying myself I can truly understand the effort and thought you've given your penthouse and have to say you've done an absolutely amazing job. Well done sir.

[@MillsBuilds]

Thank you dude!

[@cwdrock]

Absolutely sick!! Now I wish I didnt let the Dream Home get foreclosed!

[@robertwarner8455]

Awesome build, can't wait to see the Dream Home decorated as well as a few others

[@MillsBuilds]

Thanks dude! I’m planning on decorating all the player homes in game as well as more outposts so stay tuned for more!

[@KVAR42]

Wow! Really well done! You have my favorite Plushie on the couch!

[@Clapstain]

Loving the starfield builds. Hope you keep it up, especially once we get some outpost and clutter mods

[@MillsBuilds]

Thank you! That’s the plan, hopefully a lot more stuff comes to the outpost building and if not mods should fix a lot of the issues. Would love some mods now to make the junk items all static objects.

[@Clapstain]

@@MillsBuilds if you pick them up while in the move objects outpost mode they are more static than just picking them up. The only problem doing that is sometimes it makes them clip into floor/table and for the fish tanks the fish stop moving.

[@mytheoryofmind]

@@Clapstainif you want to get rid of the items you place clipping into the floor or shelves an easy exploit to fix it is by decorating it how you want and saving before you leave the apartment. Leave the game and reload the save you just made and your items do not clip into the counters and floors. Even when you leave your place and come back.

[@Clapstain]

@@mytheoryofmind good to know thanks! Does the fish tanks freeze still?

[@WolfManCer]

Would be cool if you can save or transfer the blueprints like you did on FO4 since you lost your setup before due to a quest. The mod was called Transfer Settlements. I know that was for settlements only but would be cool for apartments as well. Nice content, I have been given this same penthouse suite in game which is why I came on youtube and your video was the 1st to come up. Nice build, thanks for the content and ideas.

[@MillsBuilds]

Oh yeah 100%. I want to learn how I can make the player homes into a downloadable mod but I really wouldn’t know where to begin or if it’s even possible until Bethesda releases official mod support. I used to download pre decorated player homes in fallout it was great. But thanks for watching dude!

[@joeysherrett]

Naileddd itttttt, would be awesome if this could somehow be saved as a template or a mod for others to use and customize in their saves!

[@MillsBuilds]

Thank you dude! I know in fallout people were able to make their player homes like diamond city home plate, or your house in sanctuary as a mod. And you would download it and would come decorated. I’ve always been a console player but invested in a nice PC a couple months ago so I would definitely be open to learning how to make that happen! Once official mod support comes to the game I’ll try to make it happen. Plenty more builds down the line too so could even do it with more in the future.

[@ThraceVega]

@@MillsBuilds Oh my god, please do this.

[@TheOpinionHaver]

Small tip, the countertop in the master bath does not have collision If you add a small shelf where where it has missing collision you can put stuff on the sink.

[@MillsBuilds]

Ahhh cool. Thanks for the tip, I remember getting annoyed with that when I did this.

[@RockStarPunk]

This looks so clean. How did you manage to place everything with so much purpose? I have been trying to decorate my penthouse but item placement is so frustrating! Would love to see an actual build video that shows the process from start to finish. With some time-lapse of course 😅

[@MillsBuilds]

I’ve been thinking about changing up some of the editing style and showing more of a build process rather than just a finished tour so definitely will keep that in mind! But as for placing everything with a purpose I always just put myself in my characters shoes for a second 😂 just like Bethesda always tries to tell a story with their environments that’s kinda how I look at decorating. I also always look at how bethesda does their interiors too to give me some ideas, because they are decorating the world with some of the same objects we get to use when building. But thank you dude!

[@TheCarrShow]

I realized recently that you can move items dropped from your inventory the same way you move furniture, or habs, or whatever. By switching from the "build" or "decorate" menu to the adjusting menu, by hitting 'Tab' on PC. It eliminates a lot of the frustration when placing little items from inventory.

[@beepboop9179]

You've just saved me so much time@@TheCarrShow !

[@solophreakbertisbastelbude4188]

Amazing! So many details ❤

[@JerBear19]

Hats off to you. This is awesome. I do not have the patience for this lol

[@Falicon]

And all you can do is 'sleep' in a bed and use some craft stations. Needs more interactions and functionality in 2023 gaming ;)

[@RazSkull673]

This makes me pumled to see what we can do for living spaces in Star Citizen. The aesthetics for Starfield are great but the potential in SC is far greater.

[@MillsBuilds]

Once they add base building to SC I’m definitely gonna check it out. I been watching SC content for years but finally just got a PC a couple months ago and still have yet to try it out. I know they plan on adding base building but could be some time until that happens.

[@RazSkull673]

@@MillsBuilds anyone will tell you its the biggest negative with Star Citizen, the wait. The game has potential to be the end all be all of space sims, that I truly believe. Stability, bugs, and content beside the one system they have so far provided are all valid complaints and continuous struggles the game has. Jumping into the game today and if everything works as designed you definitely can see the promise on display. It has such a ling way to go yet and people are losing faith because the task at hand is monumental and progress has been stuck.

[@MillsBuilds]

@@RazSkull673 it’s always been interesting to follow for me. It definitely is trying to push the limits in many ways on what’s possible. I totally understand why people love it. I wonder how my PC would handle it if I could get a steady 60 FPS or not.

[@ryderferris7181]

This place is incredibly. Great work dude! How did you get a lot of the new furniture, decorations and such? Did you have to just level up? Awesome vid! !!

[@MillsBuilds]

Thank you dude! And check out my newest video, it will explain how you get all the furniture and decorations! kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4LLfKN9m8hpfc0si=nIdA9a7ayeawO64d

[@nickblood7080]

Looks awesome minus the gaming room on the right wall when you come in the front door. lol

[@MillsBuilds]

Lol that’s the best part to me. It’s the only wall you can hang a tv on in the main room so that’s why I went with that. Thanks though dude!

[@Nerun2000]

Nice work, I was annoyed and stopped after the bedroom, placing stuff from my inventory was a pain for me and also getting stuff to be aligned correctly with mouse rotation. Also I was annoyed to find out, that there wasn't a normal TV screen or a lot of furniture for the balcony (the pre-made house from the character creation has so many cool outdoor objects). But thanks for the info about the outpost stuff to have some more decoration options in your apartment. I might try this again, once I leveled those up fully.

[@MillsBuilds]

I rushed to unlock all the tiers of decorations thinking 100% there was gonna be a big tv option for Decorations 3 but there isn’t. So many interiors in the game that use the big Tv too. There’s a lot of furniture they used in the game that we unfortunately can’t use to build. Also some physics objects that you can pick up in the world but you can’t put in inventory. For example a roll of paper towels I can pick up, or a couch pillow I can pick up but I’m not able to put them in my inventory so I can’t bring them back to build with which it would be nice to have some throw pillows on the couch. But no problem dude! It’s still a ton of fun to mess around w the building in this game and I got high hopes of it getting expanded on and becoming even better in the future whether that’s by Bethesda or mods.

[@MikeLeonard]

awesome

[@Antoon55]

Very nice

[@Oraxsis]

I don't know if there is job position at Bethesda for setting up the internal environments, but if there is we would nominate you for the job.

[@MillsBuilds]

haha thank you!! I appreciate it

[@andrewshandle]

This is wonderfully done. If only there was a tangible benefit to doing this in game though.

[@MillsBuilds]

Thanks dude! But yeah once survival mode comes either officially or through mods it will give more meaning to alot of aspects of the game. Like all the food, or limiting or disabling fast travel all together so you’d actually need a place to sleep at night, etc..

[@Philpot1992]

If it's fun then that's the benefit as that's all games are for 😊

[@shadow502t]

Incredible work! Truly. That's the kind of place I'd love to live in. I can't imagine how long it took you to get it to this point. I'm not sure I have the patience for that, but I'm still pretty early in my gameplay, so I've a long way to go before I unlock the house, let alone do the research etc.

[@MillsBuilds]

Thank you! I really appreciate it. But it’s definitely time consuming especially when there’s a ton of other things to get distracted by in the game, I really enjoy building in games though, it’s all about having fun! I’d just play the game at your own pace and all the building will come later on! Enjoy it

Personally, I miss the ability to pay someone to fully furnish your house for you, like in Oblivion and Skyrim. I just don't have the patience to place individual objects all over my house like this.

[@MillsBuilds]

I totally get it. Fortunately I enjoy doing this in games, always been fun to me to try to make something look lived in and like it belongs in the game. But for those that don’t enjoy it or would rather spend time doing something else than decorating in the game I’ll be looking into making these player homes mods to download when Bethesda releases official mod support. I know it was possible in FO4 so I assume it will be for Starfield as well.

[@cristianfonsecalazard2299]

Wow excellent design!, thank you! I was lost when I tried to decorated my house now I have an idea. I have a question where did you get the white vase that you have in the second bathroom?

Thanks! & I can’t remember exactly where I found it. May have came from a lobby in one of the New Atlantis residential buildings or just a random outpost I stumbled across. Any where I go I’m pretty much stealing any decoration lol

[@willwilkinson321]

How did you get all the nice furniture?!

[@MillsBuilds]

You have to research it at a research station by either building one at an outpost or finding one. There’s a research station in the basement of the lodge, you need to get the resources and put them towards the decoration research. There’s tiers of decorations to unlock, and a lot more outpost stuff as well.

[@willwilkinson321]

@@MillsBuilds perfect, thank you!

[@MichaelCordeiro]

This is such a great build. Have you had any issues with items disappearing off the mannequins and armor stands? I'm just about to get into decorating but wanted to know if there are any known issues before I do.

[@MillsBuilds]

Thanks dude! And I have not had that issue although I’ve read some people did run into that, hopefully that’s not the case for you. The only known issue I had is the misc items I placed everywhere would sometimes sink into whatever it was placed on. You can actually see when I enter the first bathroom in the video there should be a tissue box on the table when you first walk in by the plant but the tissue box sunk all the way into it. Idk what causes it, but an easy fix is to just look at the item and hold the take button and it just floats back into place where you had originally put it. It didn’t happen often and it wasn’t every item that would sink, it would just be random items.

[@nealbennett394]

Great Build, i did one similar. Then it all disappeared after the quest line High price to pay.

[@MillsBuilds]

Thanks dude! And check out my pinned comment on my newest video of Neon Penthouse. it explains how to make sure that doesn’t happen. It’s frustrating but that should help.

Important warning about this house before anyone decorates it. There's a bug when you play the Main Story Quest "High Price to Pay" that causes all your furnishings to be deleted from existence, this includes unique items... So if you get that quest either don't continue it and immediate go back to your apartment to pick up everything you wanna keep, or reload a save and do the same.

[@MillsBuilds]

Thanks dude! I wasn’t aware of this exact glitch, I thought when people were saying items fully disappeared I thought they were talking about the items sinking into surfaces so I’m gonna pin this. I had this pinned on my recent videos as well, maybe I’ll merge the two and pin the whole thing as one Tip for anyone having issues with the misc/junk items sinking into surfaces or disappearing. drop items on floor leave cell quick save & quick load while out of the cell go back into cell place items It’s frustrating that you have to do this but it seems to work, multiple people tested it and this was also a work around in Skyrim for a similar issue.

@@MillsBuilds Yeah, I went back to my apartment after the that mission and everything was gone... Including my wedding gift. Strangely, the only exception was my Ranger Deputy badge. I'd placed them floating above one of those three tiered display shelves along with Hadrian's Genetag, and I'd placed all my snowglobes actually inside the sheft's inventory... All those were deleted from existence, and the Deputy badge was just floating in the air. All my other furnishings were gone forever.

[@denimdan555]

Does anyone know if this only applies to the penthouse? Can I move my stuff to the lodge or another owned room before that mission? Or should I just keep everything on my ship? Thanks!

[@MillsBuilds]

@@denimdan555 I’m pretty sure it pertains to all of New Atlantis so I wouldn’t recommend storing at the lodge either. And keeping stuff in your ship can also be an annoyance as well because anytime you edit your ship in the ship builder your items will get transferred to your main cargo, but it wouldn’t fully disappear like it would if you kept it in New Atlantis so.

[@YumLemmingKebabs]

@@denimdan555 The penthouse and the well apartment. Never had any issues with the boxes in the lodge, but I'd imagine it'll remove stuff you juts placed out in the open.

[@TheCarrShow]

I don't know if the team responsible for coming up with the decorating and outpost stuff just ran out of time or what. But it just seems half-finished. Like, they give you a lot of options for seating but very little for desks, or office decor. You have one computer monitor and one ancient Hewlett Packard or something. But no keyboard? No PC tower? Also, no lamps?? At all? These things exist as static objects all over in the game, so why aren't they accessible to decorate with? It's still a new game so I'm hoping the devs or modders will correct this in the future. Yeah, I realize it's not a "decor simulator." It's a sci-fi RPG. But still, the decorating aspect really helps with immersion, and when you can't have access to something as basic as a LAMP it really just ruins the immersion.

[@MillsBuilds]

It really is baffling there isn’t any lamps, but I 100% agree. Theres so many things I see in the world that I question why were not able to build them. Like we really don’t get a big tv or anything even though there everywhere in the game, same with throw pillows on couches you can pick them up but not put them in your inventory.

[@TheCarrShow]

@@MillsBuilds Yeah, throw pillows are another thing I noticed was missing. You could easily put them in your inventory...but no. I have to say, I am really glad they improved placeable items since Skyrim. That was an endless source of frustration in that game.

[@WeAreNIM]

Beautiful apartment! I've got to ask, how do you keep all the prop objects from sinking into the shelves and countertops? Whenever I place decorations around my apartment, then leave and come back, they all sink into the surface and sometimes become irretrievable (especially the countertops in the kitchen). I have the same problem on my ships as well. Is there a console command or mod that fixes that issue? Also, where is this music track from? Is it part of the Starfield OST or from somewhere else? I haven't heard it before and it's got Deus Ex vibes. Great video, thanks for sharing! ☺

[@MillsBuilds]

Thank you! And yeah that can be a bit frustrating. Fortunately I’ve never fully lost any items I was always able to still see them if they sunk in. What I found worked though was if it sunk in I just held the pick up button on it and the item would basically just float back up into place, and if there was other sunk objects around it it would also magically lift those up back into place too. Either way still frustrating and I hope that gets fixed down the line. And yes, it’s from the Starfield OST but I did mute the game audio when recording and I specifically threw the track over this video. The song is called Auora.. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hHPMpaB4Z6Z6fa8si=zxbWxtvE2UxlRS4c

100%. At least with ship builder your options are finite and relatively easy to recreate. This is a huge amount of work every time you get an apartment or build an outpost (whether on your first game, a NG+, or a new character).

Very nice , but my level 80 character can't even access most of the furniture you show . Is that double bed something you got from a perk , or is it from a mod ? Because the best I can do makes it look like a squatter has moved into the nicest house in town .

Hey, I have a question or rather an issue with the items I place. Sometimes when I load into the game or the penthouse the items will clip through the kitchen counters and when I try to pick them up, they fall into the counter. I've tried to restart the game and load a different savefile but nothing works.. Got any tips for me? Tank you!

[@MillsBuilds]

sorry to hear that’s happening! It can be frustrating. I pinned this comment on my most recent video so hopefully this can help you Tip for anyone having issues with the misc/junk items sinking into surfaces or disappearing. drop items on floor leave cell quick save & quick load while out of the cell go back into cell place items It’s frustrating that you have to do this but it seems to work, multiple people tested it and this was also a work around in Skyrim for a similar issue. If you don’t feel like going through the hassle of that every time, reloading a save has fixed it for me, one time I had to reload twice and it was fixed on the second reload. Only a matter of time until mods similar to Fallout 4 which make misc items static objects will come out and then this won’t be an issue. But for the time being, try that out and hopefully it works for everyone!

[@tombrenner8417]

@@MillsBuilds Alright, I will try it out next time. Thank you for helping!

[@toddcrane4948]

how were you able to get all the clutter items in there. Is there a way to do it with items in your inventory

[@MillsBuilds]

Yeah you just have to drop the items in your inventory and then look at the item and hold the take button to pick it up. You can change it’s axis by clicking the left stick or shift on keyboard and rotate the item with LT and RT or left click and right click.

[@toddcrane4948]

@@MillsBuilds Excellent. Thank you!

[@DuchessOfAvon]

Love this, I'm trying to recreate it for myself, but I can't get things to place on top of each other in build mode. I was able to drop the sandwich on the plate from my inventory, but it's all turned sideways which is annoying. I can't get the board games to place on the lower shelves, and if I drop one on the other they do not move together in build mode. Do you have any tips for how to get junk placed on top of shelves and each other?

[@MillsBuilds]

Thank you! And when you pick up and item you can also rotate it any way you want by holding LT and RT on controller or left click and right click on mouse and change its axis by clicking left stick on controller or shift on keyboard. You can also go into build mode and pick up the misc item which disables its physics allowing you to place it as if it was an actual decoration. As for the shelves it can be a hassle to do sometimes, maybe try crouching while placing them. Hope this helps!

[@iaGDION]

Shame that they basically just reused the Paradiso suite as the penthouse suite. Would be nice to have some attention to detail and effort in making the universe feel less copy-paste with procedural gen fluff.

[@YvngSh4dow]

Idk if u will see this but how did u get that specific furniture for example the couches in the back of the living room

[@MillsBuilds]

You have to unlock them at a research station. I uploaded a video explaining how to do it, as well as showing what exactly you’ll unlock for each tier. This should help you. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4LLfKN9m8hpfc0si=1t-PH03Bv6aJ0kEM

Is it possible to place items in Starfield?

[@MillsBuilds]

yup, you can pick up pretty much any item in game and use it as a decoration.

[@SexyLag]

How do you get those unique looking furniture items like that wall mounted TV and those couches

[@MillsBuilds]

I’ll be posting a video on it later tonight or tomorrow explaining how I get it all. But for now you have to go to a research station by either building one or going to the basement of the lodge.

[@spacespud1253]

Do you encounter the glitch where once you leave the penthouse for a bit and come back, some of the items will have half sunk into what ever surface they are placed on? Mine does it and it just annoys me because you spend all this time placing it for it to just glitch out

[@MillsBuilds]

Yup, it’s an annoying bug. Doesn’t happen every time but when it does it sucks. But I’ve noticed if you go to the item that sunk into the surface and hold the take button the item sometimes would just float right back up into place where I had it, and if other items had sunk nearby to it then they would also float back up into place.

[@curtis8516]

People are saying if you drop all the items then save and exit the game and reload it fixes it or something like that.

[@Fliim]

Yeah, I did this once, then all my items I placed sunk about a foot into whatever I placed them on. Not doing this again. 8 hours wasted for them ALL to clip through stuff!

[@MillsBuilds]

I read this the other day online as a tip to fix that which used to work in Skyrim drop items on floor leave cell quick save & quick load while out of the cell go back into cell place items I’ve tried it and so have others and it seems to work. Little annoying that you have to do that though. Eventually mods similar to Fallout 4 which makes them static objects will come out which will be nice. But until then try that out and hopefully it works for you.

[@jonshipley8146]

All my stuff disappeared a lil while back is it safe to now re decorate and use chest? I lost alot of gear

[@MillsBuilds]

I assume you did a quest which causes everything to disappear. If your finished with the main quest you should be good, there might be some glitches I’m unfamiliar with, I know some mannequins can still disappear, don’t know what really causes it. I’d say your good but just be cautious and always keep a back up save just in case.

[@babydrane8402]

What skils do you need to be able to build stuff like this? Could you give a breakdown of that. I haven't done any outpost building or research and I am worried I need to do that to build stuff like this.

[@MillsBuilds]

To do what I did here you’ll need to research outpost development at a research station. In the outpost development section theres 3 tiers of decorations, Decortations 1,2 & 3. For the first tier you don’t need any skills unlocked you just need to add material/resources to the research station to unlock it. But to unlock Decorations 2 not only do you need more resources but you also need to unlock the skill Outpost engineering rank 1 in the science skill category. But to unlock outpost engineering rank 1 you need to unlock a couple other skills in science category first. I think it’s like around 3 other skills maybe. There’s still a ton I need to unlock as far as outposts goes, there’s research for horticulture, manufacturing, defense, domestication, and more. So I’d say go to a research station either build one or there’s one in the basement of the lodge, and then click outpost development. See what your able to unlock without needing any required skills, gather the resources you need to unlock the research and then start focusing on putting skill points into the science category until you can unlock the outpost engineering skill.

[@babydrane8402]

@@MillsBuilds Thanks buddy. That is a tall order. I've ignored research because I was so busy being a soldier. I'll see what I can do.

[@DudeZenzify]

How did you put the fruits on the bowl??

[@MillsBuilds]

Well first you have to find that bowl and fruit which if you have the kid trait you can go to your partners house I know they have a fruit bowl there. Then you just have to drop the bowl on the ground and all the fruit on the ground and then look at it pick it up by holding the take button and then place it on the counter top and place each fruit in the bowl. You can rotate its axis too by clicking left stick on controller or shift on keyboard.

[@momoxh]

how do you add pendent light on the ceiling? I don't find any modern lighting furniture from decoration mode, only a few camping-like light

[@MillsBuilds]

Those are already in the penthouse when you get it. It’s upsetting there’s no normal light options like little table lamps.

[@amatanata]

Was this done with any mods or console manipulations or could I do this on an Xbox? Mainly in terms of filling shelves that aren’t specifically designed as display cases cause for me they just go straight on the top Shelf and don’t want to sit anywhere but on top.

[@MillsBuilds]

This was 100% vanilla, no mods or console commands. When your wanting to place items in between shelves don’t do it in the build menu. Just drop the item from your inventory look at it and hold the button to pick it up and then place it in between the shelves that way. I’ll be making a video going over a bunch of decoration tips soon

[@amatanata]

@@MillsBuilds okay. I was thinking about just dragging the item outside of the build menu, but didn’t know if it would magically disappear like items in settlements do sometimes in fallout 4

[@MillsBuilds]

@@amatanata to make sure that doesn’t happen after decorating, do a hard save and exit to desktop and then launch the game again. Without doing so you could have items sink into surfaces if you travel somewhere else and then come back to your outpost. Since I’ve been hard saving and exiting to desktop it never happened again

[@amatanata]

@@MillsBuilds thanks for the advice!

[@mgbomb11]

Can you do one for the core manor?

Yeah definitely! I’ll be decorating every player home as well building lots more outposts.

Where did you get the bed

[@MillsBuilds]

You have to unlock them through a research station. I made a video on how to and I show what decorations you’ll unlock for each tier. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4LLfKN9m8hpfc0si=5xwhQxhudcJCBX8d

Wish there was an auto decorate and i could somehow copy your design, placing shit is too much work considering how little of use the houses actually are :(

Hopefully I can make this into a mod down the line where you could download it and your penthouse would come pre decorated just like this. I’d like to do it with all the player homes

Sucks when you dont have the outpost building perks.

[@kingzshallrize6756]

Has that bug where everything gets deleted been patched?

[@MillsBuilds]

I haven’t had the issue happen again since the first month playing. Right after I’m done cluttering up an interior, I do a save game, and then I quit the whole game to desktop and load back in and my items have never glitched into surfaces since. From what I understand saving and quitting the game basically locks all your clutter into place.

[@chubwheel]

So, if i have already gathered some MISC deco items, can i place those as well while editing the room, or do i have to manually drop and place them and then end up with flying poltergeist items like in Skyrim when i placed items and returned to the personal quarters/house?

[@MillsBuilds]

You have to manually drop them, but once you manually drop them you can enter your build mode and can pick up the objects which will disable the physics so they wont go flying around everywhere if you bump into them. Or you could manually drop them and pick them up as normal to place them which will keep their physics but the benefit of this is it allows you to place the items more freely. The books that I placed on the middle shelves is only possible if you pick them up and place them as normal with their physics. But for items on top of a table for example your better off going into build mode and then picking it up so it disables its physics because you'd be more likely to bump into that than something placed in between a shelf.
